Kleobis and Biton Solon on happiness: "“Someone with vast wealth is no better off than someone who lives from day to day, unless good fortune attends him, and sees to it that, when he dies, he dies well and with all his advantages in tact…. The person who has and retains more advantages than others, and then dies well is the one who deserves the description of “most happy.”. It is necessary to consider the end of anything, however, and so see how it will turn out, because the god often offers prosperity to men, but then destroys them utterly and completely.” - Lucian |
